[FOR the next few years, Mr. Emerson kept
several journals or note-books, the distinction
between which is not strictly followed, with entries of dates covering several years. Therefore
it seems better to avoid confusion by grouping
the selections by years, rather than by separate
note-books. It will be specified from what
manuscript book the selections for each year
were taken.

It must be understood, then, that, in this
part of the work, the heading for each year
given by the editors, Journal, --, does not
signify a separate manuscript, but a combination; and yet, unfortunately, three of the journals that are here drawn upon have the Roman
numerals xv, xvi, and xviii, 2d, given by Mr. Emerson.]
